-September 18, 1993 (I was technically still 12 almost 13 now)Wow--that was quite the trip. Did you write your list of best friends and boys you liked? I found similar lists at the end of many many of my entries. This has been a fun little trip down memory lane and what can I say, except I am really glad I am not 13 anymore!
"Today was another normal day of school and having to do the papers. [I had a paper route] Today we started soccer in gym, we had to dribble a ball around cones it was so boring! Today is Monday. I didn't want to go to school. Jenny wasn't at the bus stop so I was the only one. Today in social studies I know I got at least one wrong and we were supposed to give 3 answers and I could only remember 2! I think I might have more wrong too. I hope not because I care about my grades." [yeah I was one of those kids]

"Dear Diary,
I'm so sorry for not writing much. A very good thing happened. I wrote to Jill about our friendship falling apart and now were Best Friends Forever again! I do miss Aaron but not as much as I said in my last entry [my brother Aaron was serving a two-year LDS mission in the Philippines] Today is the last day of Christmas break, I am very sad. Wendy is engaged! [my older sister]....... Thursday we had a stake activity we went swimming at a high school me and Amy A. basically hung around for a while. Amy and Johanna seemed to be better friends but now Amy and I are really good friends......"

....."P.P.S My best friends from church are #1 Amy A., a HIGH second Johanna, tied for third Rosalie and Emily-this new girl that moved in. I kind of like David B. I still like Andy O. I kind of like Justin B. and Willy G."
I am pretty sure I was 14 in this picture.. but close enough :)(I thought I was hot stuff in my too tight angel shirt layered with my flannel)
13 is such an awkward age. We still are kids but want to be more grown up. I think it's great that you still have your diary and can look back on those years!
ReplyDeleteA diary is something I still wish I would have done. But my memories are still oh so fresh. LOL!! Sometimes I wish I could forget... ;)
ReplyDeleteMy diary was a list of people that I liked and a list of people who I thought hated me. What an awkward age!
ReplyDeleteYeah. Fun stuff. I don't where my diary has moved to since we moved. This is the one I would have picked. And I have no more creativenness after I write in my novel.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Good job. did you get the part?
That is so AWESOME! I loved it. Unfortunately I wasn't a very good journal keeper back in the day...it might be fun to see what I thought back then!
ReplyDeleteoh how i remember the layered flannel...and the mosimo and no fear shirts underneath. sigh.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds just like mine at that age! http://casajones95.blogspot.com/2008/08/8th-grade-me.html
ReplyDeletewow! I totally carried that chair you were sitting on all by myself from the second floor down to your garage. would you feel sad if I told you that your dad is getting rid of it and putting it on craigslist for free?
ReplyDeletehave a nice day!
That is too funny! I just saw that plaid flannel shirt on a Gap ad this morning. It's back in, but I just don't know if I could pull off the lumberjack look now. I had a few in my closet at 13 also.
ReplyDeleteFlannel is waaaay hot! That sounded very similar to one of my entires at that age. i think almost every other page I was in love with a new boy! I would never be 13 again if you paid me! That is for sure!
ReplyDeleteLol! That was great Em. I love how you made up with your friend and were now friends FOREVER. You sound just like the Mia Maids I teach!
ReplyDeleteI liked Justin B. and Willy G., too. Then again, I liked just about every boy back then. :)
ReplyDeleteThirteen is a tough age of course I have 17, 15, and 12 year old girls so I can relate.

These entries were so cute. I remember listing my friends by order of importance to me. Mine was mental tho. Maybe I was afraid someone would find it if I wrote it down.
ReplyDeleteYou don't look any older today than you did at 14 but aren't you so glad that you are over 10 years wiser?
